Discussing the possibility that iOS and Android could become Steam-powered gaming platforms, Newell confirmed that Valve was looking into the iOS/Android platform for possible expansions with Steam.

Details, as you would expect at this early stage, are non-existent, but the mere fact that Valve is looking into iOS and Android mobile gaming options is exciting enough news in itself, for any self-respecting gamer that wants to see lots more in-depth hardcore titles on their mobile phone in future.

Apple and Valve have clearly developed a good working relationship since the launch of Steam for Mac in 2010, so the suggestion that a version of Steam is soon to be announced for iOS devices seems more than plausible.
